    Hi,

    Can I add custom fields for posts, pages or for custom fields?

    For example, to add “about” of the author ot about the company in the posts?

    Or maybe custom fields for user to add his website, email, facebook page etc.

    I also want to show this information on the post /page or custom post.

    ?

  • Hello @insideril,

    I am so sorry to mention I am not clear with the query.

    You can add custom fields in post forms created by WPUF for post type post or page type post. The information submitted through custom field, appears in the frontend.

    Please navigate through WP-admin > WPUF > Settings > Frontend posting – make sure you have checked the “show custom fields on post”. Also in the custom field set for the “show data on post” from the “advanced settings”.

    If you have meant anything else, please elaborate a little more.

    regards,

    OK,

    For example, I want to create custom type “business page”

    So I want users to add their business information, and facebook page link, website link, business hours and more.

    Then I will use this info to create his business page (custom post type).

    Can I do it?

    Hello @insideril,

    Yes you can create custom post type post in WPUF but for that either you have to use a third party plugin or use custom code to generate the “business page” custom post type post.

    You can add website URL, textarea for business information and hours but for Facebook page link you have to use the URL field as this is directly unavailable in the custom field list of WPUF.

    Once the user submits all the information, then it will create a business page type custom post.

    Hi,

    Thank you,

    But I need also create custom fields on that business page, with ACF no?

    And then create same custom fields on your plugin, to match it, and to show it, no?

    I mean, when user submits the information, I need to explain where to show this info on the page. The core fields only a title, the content and taxonomies. Business hours etc. are not core WordPress.

    And if no, where will be the information shown on the page?

    Hello @insideril,

    Even if you don’t use ACF, the custom fields of WPUF post form will show up in the frontend post and in backend as well.

    However, after mapping the fields with ACF, you have to check the ACF field data from the backend of the post. ACF data doesn’t appear in the frontend.

    regards,
